largest pair of oxen ever seen in the State,
and 1t is the opinion of Mr. c. Libby, one
of the most extensive cattle dealers OF the

world. They are grade Durhams, seven
years old, and girth the enormous figure of
ten feet. lacking single inch. They weigh
1000 pounds, and are as well proportioned
and perfect animals as one would wish to
see. They are of cherry color, beautifully
marked with white. They will be on exhi-
bition at Maplewood Park during the fair
this week and will doubtless be viewed by
thousands of admiring spectators.
These oxen are the property of Messrs.
Hastings Morse of Vermont. and have
cost them as they now stand about $1,000.
Last year they made gain of between 700
and 800 pounds, and the year before be-
tween 1000 and HOO. They now measure
across their hips three feet and two and one
half inches, and their backs are so fiat that
a bushel of corn could be turned down upon
them, and none of it roll off.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON STREETS.
DEERING, Aug. 81, 1887.
To the d. Y. l. Association:
The committee on streets respectfully re-
port that during the summer months, upon
the main roads and upon some twenty
streets including all from behring's Bridge
to Morrilps Corner, brush, rocks and leaves
were raked. Upon many of the streets the
grass and weeds have been cut, on some OF
them twice, and the unsightly exhi-
mer years have, in the main, dis
appeared. The condition of many of
our streets is such that but little improve
ment could be made in their appearance
by cutting grass and weeds from that part
used as the roadway. Yet two men have
been engaged for the past three weeks upon
this work, and much Improvement has been
made upon the streets so treated. This is an
important part of our work and the commit
tee trusts that it will be enabled to extend it
until all our otIeetS are tnuS cleaneu, ne
selectmen of the town have finished all the
arrangements that could be expected in this
supplementary town work
Respectfully submitted,
l.. j. PERKINS, Chairman.
The treasurer stated that the assets of the
Association, including lease of hall. amount
ed to some $500. The Rev. c. T. Ogden pre-
sented a verbal report for the committee on
ornamental trees, and was requested to make
record of the same to be placed upon the
minutes of the Association. After sew
eral brief addresses the meeting adjourned.
